OPINION:

After the normalization of gold price movement dynamics compared to the period of elevated volatility (February–March), we can observe the commodity entering a consolidation channel between approximately USD 5000 and approximately USD 4200. Currently, the price remains closer to the lower boundary of this consolidation channel, which—considering both the geopolitical/economic context and a range of technical indicators – creates an opportunity for a breakout and a test of a higher level within the consolidation channel.

Methodology and assumptions adopted:

• The recommendation is based on technical analysis of the chart, in particular EMA moving averages, Fibonacci levels, and MACD.
• The target level was determined based on Fibonacci levels.
• The protective stop-loss order was set based on a favorable risk-to-reward ratio and based on a Fibonacci level.
